We apply elastomeric coatings (stretchable, crack-resistant paint), polyurethane sealants, and membrane systems that keep water OUT. Critical for roofs, balconies, pool decks, and exterior walls below grade. Licensed, $2M insured, 25+ years across Broward County.
Here's what Lighthouse Point building code actually requires: Lighthouse Point sits in coastal flood zones. Hurricane rains + storm surge + high water table means waterproofing isn't optional — Miami-Dade building code requires it for any major renovation.

💡 What we learned in 25 years: Waterproofing failure isn't dramatic — it's a slow leak that rots your framing for years before you see a stain.
We've worked across Lighthouse Point's neighborhoods for over 25 years. Each area has its quirks:
Lighthouse Point isn't a typical inland city — and painting here isn't typical either. Here's what we watch for:
In Lighthouse Point Waterfront, deep-water canal homes with ocean access. Properties here sit in flood-zone conditions where waterproofing isn't optional — Miami-Dade and Broward building codes require it for any major renovation, and we know the inspection details that get jobs approved first time.
In Cap's Place Island, historic landmark restaurant, waterfront properties. Waterproofing failure here isn't dramatic — it's a slow leak that rots framing for years before you see a stain. Elastomeric coatings, polyurethane sealants, and membrane systems are how we keep water out.
In Northeast, residential core, single-family homes near Hillsboro Inlet. Coastal flood zones, high water table, hurricane storm surge — every property here needs a different waterproofing stack. We assess flood elevation first, then build the system.
South Florida runs at 60-80% relative humidity year-round, with hurricane season (June through November) bringing wind-driven rain that finds every weak point in exterior coatings. Salt air from the coast accelerates oxidation on metal trim and chalking on older paint. On the ground, two patterns drive material choice: oldest housing stock in area — 1967 median year built; and extreme salt air exposure (coastal) — paint fails 2-3x faster than inland.
Coastal flood zones, high water table, hurricane storm surge — every property here needs a different waterproofing stack. We assess flood elevation first, then build the system. That's why a waterproofing job here that lasts 5+ years requires materials and prep that wouldn't be necessary 200 miles inland — and why most failed jobs we get hired to redo are the result of contractors who treated this like a normal market.
💡 The honest truth: If someone quotes you a price without visiting the property first — walk away. Every Lighthouse Point job is different. Flood zones, HOA rules, building code, and material choices all change the scope. We always come look before we quote.

A waterproofing project in Lighthouse Point typically involves three main phases: design, permitting, and construction. The design phase includes assessing your property to determine the best waterproofing solutions. Next, the permitting phase ensures all work complies with local regulations before starting construction. Finally, the construction phase involves the actual installation and application of waterproofing materials to protect your property.
The waterproofing process in Lighthouse Point begins with an initial inspection of your property to identify problem areas. Next, surface preparation is completed, which may include cleaning, repairing cracks, or applying primers. Then, professional waterproofing materials are applied to seal and protect against moisture intrusion. Lastly, a final inspection confirms the work's effectiveness and proper curing time is allowed before use.
Yes, waterproofing projects in Lighthouse Point must comply with local building codes and regulations, which often include standards for materials and installation methods to withstand Florida's climate, including wind and moisture conditions. Contractors must verify that all permits are obtained and inspections are scheduled as required by the city to ensure the work meets safety and durability standards.
